Excerpt from English for Secondary Schools A wise instructor, then, will arrange the course in read ing so that it will serve two great ends: first and prima rily, to introduce youth to the best that has been said and thought by the English-speaking people; and second, to place before his classes examples of literary skill which shall be at once models after which to fashion their own work, and an inspiration to ambitious effort.

Excerpt from A History of English Literature for Secondary Schools By an arrangement of type the book is adapted for various courses of study. It will probably be enough for beginners to keep to the larger type, and it may even be advisable for the teacher to restrict their studies to a selection of the more important authors. In a book of this kind, involving the record of thou sands of facts, it is impossible that perfect accuracy can at once, if at last, be attained. It is as accurate, s0'far as it goes, as I have been able by a considerable amount of reading and study to make it. I shall be thankful to receive notes of correction, and any suggestions that I may be favored with will be carefully considered. In its preparation I have necessarily been indebted to many writers. Where my obligations are so manifold and various, it would be invidious to particularize them; but I cannot avoid expressing my indebtedness, direct or indirect, to the professorial teaching and published work of Professor Masson, of Edinburgh. Whatever of merit the book contains is largely due to him; the faults are my own. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Teaching of English in the Secondary School The present is beyond doubt a period of significant change in the field of secondary education. Under perfect conditions, gradual and continuous readjust ment to the changing demands of -a dynamic society should be characteristic of education at all times. In the past, however, perfect conditions have never obtained and in all probability the future will fail to provide them. The history of education shows clearly that the school does not promptly react to changes in social demands, that educational readjustment is seldom gradual, and that desirable changes in education, neglected for the time, gradually increase in number and importance until by the pressure of accumulated force they compel extensive and' radical reorganization at irregular intervals. There is every evidence that the present is one of those periods when the accumulation of long-needed changes is compel ling radical readjustment in the secondary school as well as in other departments of the system of educa tion.

Excerpt from The Teaching of English Literature in Secondary Schools This little book was originally projected by Mr. A. C. Guthkelch, of King's College, and was to be written by us in common. The pressure of other work prevented him from carrying out his share of the undertaking, and, at the request of the publishers, I took up the work alone. For the plan of the book I am mainly, and for the execution entirely, responsible. Mr. Guthkelch's originality and accurate scholarship would have produced a very different kind of book, and the chapters which follow can have little or nothing to offer to the trained teacher of literature; but there are many who, without special training, have to teach literature as a subsidiary subject, and to them these hints and suggestions of method may be useful. My aim has been practical guidance, rather than originality. Doubtless the results of my own reading will be found imbedded in what I have here written, and for this I need make no apology; I have not, however, consulted for this present purpose, nor consciously drawn upon any books of reference or histories of literature.

Excerpt from A Method of English, Vol. 1: For Secondary Schools This little book professes to be, not an English Grammar, but a course of English Lessons for the junior forms of Secondary Schools. It contains, indeed, all the grammar that is of any importance, but it contains other things too, and is written with a certain definite intention. It is intended for children who already Speak and write English fairly well, and who are beginning to learn another lan guage. Now, it is notorious that such children are apt to pre sume on their knowledge, and to neglect and despise the English lesson. Yet they cannot follow a long sentence, or understand poetical diction, and when they come to the syntax of a foreign language they blunder sadly from mere ignorance of the functions of words in their own language. Who, for instance, has ever taught the' use of prepositions with the infinitive in French, or of at with the subjunctive in Latin, without finding that he had to give a lesson in English grammar as well? In truth, the higher work of schools is perpetually hampered by the neglect of English in the lower classes. It is often said, and is sometimes true, that, sooner or later, pupils learn English grammar through Latin, but many of them learn neither, and the process is in any case unreasonable.

Excerpt from English Practice for Secondary Schools Speaking generally, the mastery of English, oral and written, comes through imitation and practice, rather than through the application of rules of grammar. Accordingly, models by standard authors and by pupils of grades nine and ten are included for detailed study and for mimic writing. Nevertheless, an irreducible minimum of pure gram mar, chiefly concerned with the function of words and the structure of the sentence, must be taught. This book seeks to combine, in a series of daily exercises, practices in speaking and writing, and the grammar necessary to those skills, without undue stress upon formal definitions or much abstract teaching. On the whole, the arrangement of the material is topical, but to a very considerable extent it is also sequential since new skills are introduced into each unit and those same skills are drilled upon and further developed in succeeding units. It is hoped that in the first portion of the course teachers and pupils will concentrate upon the sentence, aiming to achieve facility in oral and written expression. In the remainder of the course the combination of good sentences into well constructed paragraphs provides the material for intensive work in composition. In all the units, wherever possible, an effort has been made to base the work upon activities and experiences of growing boys and girls.
